Jack-O-Lantern

The kids and I carved a Jack-O-Lantern tonight. Georgia has been learning about pumpkins at school the past few weeks so she was very interested in this activity. She told Jack all about the pumpkin. When we lit it, Jack cried and said he was scared! Pretty good, huh?

Happy Halloween!!

Kidergarten Field Trip


Last week the entire kindergarten class at Tallassee Elementary School headed to Union Springs to Dream Fields Farms for their first class field trip. What a blast everyone had!! There were so many fun things for the kids to do...a petting zoo, tractor races, a hayride, corn field maze, hay slides, inflatable jumpers, cow train ride, corn "sand" boxes, a pumpkin patch, churning butter....and I know I'm forgetting something! Georgia was most excited that she got to ride a school bus for the first time. Mrs. Dickerson is the best teacher. I loved seeing how she interacted with the children and made all of them feel special and loved.

Tallassee Trade Day

Trade Day in Tallassee was Saturday, October 16th. Trade Day is usually pretty hot, you know typical October weather in Alabama! Well, not this year...it was freezing!! It was a lot of fun, as usual. Georgia's dance class performed this year. The song they danced to was about dressing up and getting pretty, so they were suppose to wear their favorite dress-up outfit. I must say, Georgia is such a ham! I wish I knew how to upload the video so you could get the full effect! She really puts on a show when she knows people are watching her! I swear we don't know where she gets it!

Alabama National Fair

Last Wednesday the Butler clan headed to the Alabama National Fair in Montgomery. The weather was a little questionable, but luckily the rain held off and it was actually very pleasant. Memaw, Paw Paw and Brittan went with us and we had the best time. We didn't think Daniel was quite ready for the fair so he stayed with Nana and Papa. We ended up staying for almost five hours, the longest we have ever stayed!!
